MR BLUE - Memoirs Of A Renegade

by Edward Bunker
(No Exit Pres / http://www.noexit.co.uk/)

   Edward Bunker's life is beyond the imaginings of most fiction writers. He was born in Hollywood, California, the son of a stagehand and Busby Berkeley chorus girl, whose early divorce propelled him into a series of boarding homes and military schools. From the age of five he repeatedly ran away, roaming the city streets at night. A proud character, combined with an IQ of 152, resulted in a series of altercations with the authorities. He became the youngest ever inmate of San Quentin at the age of seventeen, and there he learned survival skills and faced down the toughest prisoners in the system. He was befriended by Mrs Louise Wallis, a former star of the silent screen and wife of movie mogul, Hal Wallis, who produced films starring Bogart, Cagney, Edward G. Robinson and George Raft. She introduced Bunker to her circle of friends, including Jack Dempsey, Tennessee Williams, Aldous Huxley and William Randolph Hearst, whose guest he was at San Simeon.

EYE MIND The Saga Of Roky Erickson and the 13th Floor Elevators , the Pioneers of Psychedelic Sound 

by Paul Drummond - Foreword by Julian Cope
(Process / http://processmediainc.com/)

   The trailblazing 13th Floor Elevators released the first “psychedelic” rock album in America, transforming culture throughout the 1960s and beyond. The Elevators followed their own spiritual cosmic agenda — to change society by finding a new path to enlightenment. Their battles with repressive authorities are legendary.
Lead singer Roky Erickson was put away in a maximum security unit for the criminally insane for years. Tommy Hall, their Svengali lyricist, lived in a cave. Guitarist Stacy Sutherland was imprisoned. The drummer was involuntarily subjected to electric shock treatments.

This fascinating biography breaks decades of silence of band members and features dozens of never-before-printed photos. “One of the most exhilarating rock ‘n’ roll stories ever told.” — Julian Cope

LOST FROM THE OTTAWA 'The Story Of The Journey Back'

by Pun Plamondon
(www.punplamondon.com - 2004)

   "Pun Plamondon's story is a unique and compelling account of his odyssey from adopted son to White Panther Minister of Defense, FBI 10 Most Wanted List, political prisoner, alcoholic road dog and his redemption as an Odawa activist, storyteller and modern-day sage.
Many important lessons here on The Journey Back."  - John Sinclair

"NATURAL STORYTELLER
Today, Plamondon’s outlaw days are far away over the hills of time, but they still glow with the vibrancy of a master storyteller in his new book, “Lost from the Ottawa -- the Story of the Journey Back.” The lost hippie enclave of Plum Street still shimmers in his pages, as do images of the Motor City burning in the ‘67 riot and life on the run. Indeed, after a life of misadventure, that’s just what Plamondon, 59, has become: an Ottawa elder and storyteller reunited with his lost heritage."  -Robert Downes
